Two things with a piston swap.Check the all bores with a dial bore gauge especially the thrust side.If needing a bore to straighten out the bores back to round,do no machine work unless the intended pistons to be used is in the hands of the machine shop to properly size the bores and sonic check the bores on a relative thin walled engines and only finish bore only with torque plates.

Secondly watch your SCR/DCR's with head swaps and flat tops/5.7's.Diffidently buying good quality aluminum aftermarket heads is a step in the right direction.These engines like intake runners in the range of 195CC or for low end 180cc's.
